  • Northside Finalizes This Year's Line-Up
    2014-02-25 09:00 CET NorthSide finalizes this year’s line-up Among the last additions to the Danish festival's line-up are Rhye and Jurassic 5 During the fifth edition of the Danish festival NorthSide you will over three days be able to see acts like Arcade Fire, Lana Del Rey, Queens of the Stone Age, A$AP Rocky, Pixies and many others on three different stages. A total of 32 acts had before today agreed to participate in this year's festival, and now we’ve added the final nine acts to the program. Rhye In 2012, the duo consisting of Canadian singer Milosh and Danish producer Robin Hannibal released the songs "Open" and "The Fall" in all anonymity and quickly thereafter speculation surrounding the beautiful melodies and androgynous vocals created a lot of online buzz. The high standard of the material was continued on the beautiful debut album "Woman", which is nominated for a Nordic Music Prize and has been praised by everyone from Pitchfork to Politiken. So we are very proud to be able to present the first ever Danish show with Rhye at NorthSide. Jurassic 5 After a six-year hiatus, Jurassic 5, returned to the live scene last year with a line-up, which included DJ Cut Chemist, who had left the group before the release of the band's latest album "Feedback".Jurassic 5 has since the early 90s been synonymous with intelligent and inventive hip hop combining old school rap and socially relevant lyrics with DJ technique of the highest caliber.
